My best M57 so far!

Paul,
Nicely done.

I think you are getting good results with the Starshoot. The colors seem natural. Have you done or considered doing a G2V star color calibration for your StarShoot?

Final NGC7000 of the season...promise!

Larry,
Nice result.

I didn't take the two images into PS for a compare. I think I would need to do that to see the difference between the two.

Thanks everybody for your comments...

Louie,
Actaully, I make a luminance construction of the Ha data and the IR/UV block data. The later really only used to sharpen and enhance the dim stars in the Ha data.

Excellent Vince!

Looks like you are giving your H-Alpha a workout this season.

Crescent in H-alpha

David,
Pretty cool image. The H-Alpha is an interesting result. Makes the 120ST look pretty good.

What is the bandpass width of the H-Alpha you used?
